Whats good Y'all? I'm bored just hanging out and I was thinking what is some new gear that is out this winter that you're super stoked about or wanna cop? I feel like this year is one of the best the industry has ever looked. it doesn't look like anyone has any bleh gear. On that note ill get it started. Im coping a pair of 192 white walkers with kingpins, also probably gonna cop a reckoner 112 and put the new duke on them!

Awesome to hear, plenty of people are going this route, straight jumping into touring can be expensive AF.

Jeffrey 102s. Real stoked to get on these. Saw my custom pair in the back of one of the insta stories and they look rad and I can’t wait.

hot.pocketif you're using the second riser for any extended period of time you picked the wrong approach.

I spent end of season touring straight up black / red runs on shift.... I really really would have liked another level on the shift, then my buddy started joining me, he "collects" mountain peaks whatever that is named in english, he doesnt even bother with a single riser when he goes up, on his superlight skis/alpinist setup he kinda just "runs" up. he would do 2 or 3! laps up per my 1. skinning with mountain goats kinda kills your ego.

I'm stil not 100% on the shifts, but adjusting them properly seems to help indeed. I was 230lbs'? ish then

If / when my Libtec UFO 100s are ready for replacement, Dynastar Menace 98’s will most likely be taking their place. May have to turn the UFO into a touring setup
